(30 p) 2) In an ideal Diesel cycle, T2 is found by the given formula. Drawing a schematic view of this process,
T2 = T1 rk‒1
a) If T1 = 300 K, r = 18, and k = 1.4, determine the nominal value of the T2 in K unit.
b) If T1 = 300 K ± %1, r = 18 ± %1, and k = 1.4 ± %1, determine the percentage uncertainties in the
calculation of value of T2, in case of using error analysis on the commonsense basis.
c) If T1 = 300 K ± %1, r = 18 ± %1, and k = 1.4 ± %1, determine the percentage uncertainty in the calculation
of value of T2, in case of using uncertainty analysis. For uncertainty analysis: If R  R x1 , x2 , x3 , ....., xn  ,

d) If T1 = 300 K ± %1, r = 18 ± %1, and k = 1.4 ± %1, determine the percentage uncertainty in the calculation
of value of T2 using the sum of absolute value of error caused by each variable instead of using uncertainty
analysis. Also, compare the results of (c) and (d) parts of the problem.
